Off duty beauty: Emily VanCamp takes a day away from the pressures of her glamorous Revenge alter ego

She is usually seen teetering around the Hamptons in sky-high heels and a bandage dress in her role as Emily Thorne on the hit show Revenge.

But on Sunday Canadian actress Emily VanCamp looked decidedly off duty as she grabbed a coffee with a mystery man in Los Angeles.

In fact, the 26-year-old sported an outfit that her alter-ego would not be caught dead in.

Wearing long sleeved black top with a pair of shapeless jeans and canvas beige slip on shoes, Emily was looked a far cry from her usually glamorous self.

The star had left her blonde hair loose and un-styled and hid her make-up free face behind a pair of Ray-Ban clubmaster sunglasses.

And it seems that even her coffee date did not recognise her as she waved to him while approaching the restaurant.

Discussing why the show has proved so
popular, Emily recently told GQ 'I think revenge is a universal theme. It's
fun to delve into the lives of the rich and beautiful people of the
Hamptons.

‘I always feel like I'm playing a
character when I'm in a beautiful dress, with my hair coiffed. I like
getting down and dirty. It's really fun,' she said.

‘There's nothing better than setting an a**hole's house on fire. It's those moments when I think "I love my job!"'

In real life, Emily and her co-star Josh Bowman have been dating since
meeting on the set of Revenge, where he played her love interest, Daniel Grayson.

The pair have been notoriously tight-lipped about their off screen relationship but, in a rare show of public affection, attended a celebrity poker event arm in arm last week.

24-year-old Josh explained his approach to his fans' interest in his personal life to People: 'I tell them to f***
off because it's none of their business, and then it becomes less about
the show and more about who I'm dating.'

'It's cool that people like the show and
the people who play the characters,' he said. 'But I like a few shows,
and I really don't care about the actors' private lives, because that's
just sad. I really don't. I've got enough s*** in my own life.'

The actor did talk about sharing the small screen with VanCamp however, saying: 'She's just really great to work with.

'She's experienced and confident in the tracking of her character. She's been working a lot longer than I have.
